#myofascial pain syndrome

[seven-oomen]

A few of the potential physical effects of PTSD on the body:

Chronic pain (like fibromyalgia, crps, myofascial pain syndrome)

Chronic fatigue

Autoimmune diseases

Diabetes

Arthritis

Neurological disorders like FND (Paralysation is a possibility with FND, so yes, PTSD could potentially mean you would need a wheelchair).

Non epileptic seizures in the form of dissociations.

Gastrointestinal disorders like IBS

Dysautonomic disorders like POTS

That's not to say that PTSD always cause these problems, or these issues can only be caused by PTSD. It is however a potential.

(Still a good doctor should rule out other physical causes first before jumping on the PTSD/ "psychosomatic" bandwagon).

Also note, that just because PTSD might be causing your problems, that doesn't mean that they're not real. They are. But instead of a hardware problem, it's a software problem. Still very real, still not something that you're making up. The cause of it, is a sick brain in that case.

I can barely stand for fifteen minutes before I need to sit.

And I've spent the past two hours standing, sitting only when my legs physically gave out from under me (only to get yelled at by the manager to not sit down.)

Thank the gods for the woman who told him I needed to leave. I don't think he would have listened to me until I visibly collapsed.

Tomorrow is going to be hard.

Im so tired. I hurt all of the time. I've always hurt. I thought it was normal. I grew up in pain, thinking everyone did. As an adult now, I realize how wrong I was, how I didn't have the vocabulary to advocate for myself and how other adults ignored my pleading for help, telling me to stop being dramatic.

The fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, anxiety, depression, chronic migraines with aura, all of it. I'm just so tired. I've had an ongoing, constant migraine for the past year and a half at this point. It has been resistant to any meds the docs have pushed at me, including injections. I've lost my job and my husband is having to support us. I'm fighting for disability and it's hard. I'm so tired.

Ive lost my life. I don't feel like a person. I am un-human, not inhuman. I feel lost and small. I know my husband gets so tired of hearing how bad I feel all the time but I have no news, nothing new. I'm housebound and isolated. I miss my friends and being able to go see family. I miss being able to go grocery shopping. I miss being able to drive. I'm so tired.

Somedays, when the migraine causes my light and sound sensitivity to crank up to 11, I have to lie in my husband's closet. It's the only place dark enough and quiet enough that I don't want to eat a bullet. I'm so tired.

Even with meds, does it ever get better? Is there any modicum of relief that doesn't end up with me addicted? I can't do that. I can't become my mother. I always thought she was lying when she said she had fibro. She got diagnosed in the late 90s when docs were handing out pain pill scripts like candy. But maybe she was self medicating? I don't know and it's too late to ask. Her 2015 overdose was no shock with her past issues. I'm so tired.

My husband has to monitor me when I shower, so I don't fall and hurt myself. He has to help me dress. I'm only 30, I shouldn't feel this broken and beat down, should i?

Im just so, so very tired.

My uncle, who is actively dying of pancreatic cancer and COPD , will try and offer to share pain medicine with me.

My doctor won't. My doctor prescribes meditation and positive thinking.

In bed by 10 pm, heating pad on my back, cool pads on my feet - it’s the chronic illness lifestyle 🤷‍♀️

[revvetha]

mmmh what i Should be doing is heat treatments and painkillers but unfortunately preparing all that hurts more than languishing on the couch so.

My physical therapist found more triggerpoints yesterday and apparently the connective tissues in my shoulders and entire back are also giving me problems. So today I am in more pain, a solid 6-7 instead of the usual 4-5. I am sluggish and tired because I took a double dose (100 mg, max dose is 150 mg) last night and I feel like non stop crying.

Current running differentials for my condition are; fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, or hypermobility spectrum disorder.

On the up side; I baked a bread today and that felt soothing and calming and if I can wake up enough I will try to write something too today.

Being disabled, chronically ill, and hearing "You'll never have to work? I'm so jealous!" Like, no? You aren't?

I am restrained to a bed, sometimes the floor, wherever is closest before I need to catch my breath from taking three steps, while holding onto walls and objects.

My brain stops mid sentence and confuses people when I don't know what I was doing or saying.

I bump into something and twenty seven things seem to break.

The medications I'm forced to take make me MORE tired and nauseas then before.

You can have this, I'd do anything for an abled body, a chance at the life I knew before! Not this one that's deteriorating by the second...

mps is being a bitch lately. i saw my physio not that long ago and i've been trying everything at home to try to make it better and nothing works. i've done the warm baths/showers and the self-massages, i've been applying cold when there's inflammation, i've taken my muscle relaxant, i've been avoiding working for long periods of time and trying to relax as much as i can so stress doesn't make it worse and i'm still in so much pain all day that i can barely function. does anyone with myofascial pain syndrome have any advice? what do you usually do to relieve the pain? please, i'm desperate 😭

I may need to muscle my brain around to accepting the possibility that I'm going to be in varying levels of constant pain for more than a year, possibly several years, and I hate that more than anything in the world.
